The problem was the story of the game makes no real sense. And the mods can’t fix that.

... and the Roads?

To play devils advocate at least in regard to her earlier statements, I think the point she was trying to make was about lived experience and appropriation of titles. Just to be clear I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing.

That isn’t how it works.

Former Geologist. The video is pretty bad for judging scale, but eyeballing I would say that is at least a meter cubed if not a bit more.

Gawker website seems to be creaking round the edges with whatever weird change of the money they are trying out.

Maybe get a clue? That isn’t what is actually being discussed, there is nothing at all in the article that claims these to be official unit patches. There are a huge number of unofficial unit and morale patches, very few of them are actually accepted issue logos.

Nonsense, there is no licensing agreement for apparel. You can use it however you wish.

The quote wasn’t from my post. And to point out as first aider myself that absolutely isn’t how I was trained, you stabilise a suspect neck injury as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

If it is licensed apparel they would have very little recourse, it’s also questionable whether they could at all on its own. In film and media you can control things like branding in content to a degree, but you can’t really do that in real life as you don’t get to control what people buy and do after the fact.

You do make some good points, and I’ve reviewed the data myself in the past and read more than a few articles. Probably a bit over the top in going after my definition of slightly, to me really anything less than a 5% difference is slight, especially given that when you cut that kind of data it isn’t hard to come up…

To be fair in that scenario there is a pretty clear rationale for not all rushing in and keeping security. The officer clearly in charge should have had someone directly rendering aid, not waiting for someone else.

Good post. While there are a few things I would probably disagree a bit with in your interpretations at the end you did a great job summarizing the issues.

Given this came with the release date announcement and is about it being free on that day, would it not be good to mention what day that actually is?

To be fair, and the reason they’ve never changed it, it is an accurate representation of how autopilot works in other applications. I know I’m a little unusual in that I did train to be a pilot, but even before that I knew that aircraft didn’t fly themselves.

There are plenty of examples of countries that have rooted out corruption from the grass roots in police forces. Admittedly the US has ironically a disadvantage in that it has an authoritarian bent to policing models rather than policing by consent. However, it is doable and it has to be as there really isn’t a start…

The problem is Centrists are at the end of the day practical. You can’t replace tens or even hundreds of thousands of police officers. You can only reform an institution, and while you can filter out the worst of the bad apples ultimately you need to change behaviours. If you are too aggressive you will always fail at…

The solution is not chasing down corruption or police crinimality on it’s own, but baking in and integrating the fundamental principles of policing by consent

It never does, but I’ve had plenty of friends, family and colleagues that are health workers be hospitalized again and again from a range of infections and injuries they pick up from work. Some of them have even died or came close to death from those injuries and infections.

Thing is with the level of infection, and the fact people just don’t follow the rules it doesn’t matter how long you are in lockdown. The UK as gone past the point where efficacy of lockdown will improve and the trend rate for the current plateau means that the lockdown isn’t sustainable. If everyone had genuinely…
